Local Mk1 Mini Marcos

It's been over a year that fellow Dutchman Gert-Jan Westerveld tipped me about a Mk1 Mini Marcos with a nice slice of racing heritage - see here. And since being a big fan of the earliest and original of Mini Marcoses I always wanted to have a look. By now I have moved house and live in fact not too far from where the thing is located. And so, when I was on my way earlier this week I decided to pay it a visit. And there it was, in a corner of a show room in between modern Euroboxes, looking splendid in all its tinyness. Although it's on display in a showroom the owner is not looking for a buyer, although he may be tempted by a really good offer, or so he told me. One thing is for sure: it's the best Mk1 I have ever seen.
